Rashmi Anand is an author, counsellor, consultant, and social worker, who has been working with issues of gender based violence since 2005. 

​

18 years ago, Rashmi Anand walked away from a violent, abusive marriage with two small children, and no financial support whatsoever.  She works today with the very issues that devastated the lives of her children and her. Having voluntarily counselled hundreds of women at the Crime Against Women Cell of Delhi Police at Nanakpura New Delhi over a period of five years, as well as at a personal level, she has tried to make sure that no woman who approaches her for help endures what she has been through. Today, Rashmi runs her own NGO — Woman of the Elements Trust — which works with women and children impacted by domestic violence.
